To see your PC specs, you can use Speccy,
link: https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download
It's handy program that shows most PC info, except PSU make and model. I use Speccy to monitor my PC temps and also to confirm my CPU core speed, CPU multiplier and RAM frequency.
For what may be wrong, download and run UserBechmark tool to bench your PC,
link: http://www.userbenchmark.com/Software
UserBechmark bench program nicely shows which of your components are underperforming. For example, here's the bench of my Skylake build (full specs in my sig),
link: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/3760877
Without further info, i can't tell if some of your hardware is failing or you have lot of bloatware running.

Look for your CPU and Graphics Card temperatures if your CPU is about 70-80 degrees and Graphics Card about 65-70 degrees when idle you might have a virus

With UserBenchmark, post the link to your run results. Reading only the summary won't help. But what i can see from that little summary is that your GPU failed the benchmark, else-ways, it would be listed there as well. Also, you have quite a high CPU usage.
To remedy high CPU usage, download Process Explorer and look which programs hog your system resources,
link: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/processexplorer.aspx
I use Process Explorer in place of the standard Task Manager since it's far better program which also provides more real time info about the system.
According to Speccy, your idle temps are fine. What about temps when you have your PC under load (gaming/benching)?

Cpu is high ? https://gyazo.com/c6db744c610df31120b92cff4395b5d1
Are these my run results ? https://gyazo.com/2250f8f630ffb38a37bd78b90fad669b
Really bad when it comes to stuff like this sorry

Your cropped image of Process Explorer only shows the CPU idle load (77.35%) and system load (0.73%). Your screenshot doesn't show what are all the other applications that, in total, use 21.92% of CPU processing power.
Arrange the CPU usage list by clicking once on the green "CPU" tab. This view gives better oversight about applications that use the most of CPU's processing power.
Under the spoiler is the screen of my Process Explorer on my Skylake build where i've arranged applications by CPU usage.
To give us the UserBenchmark run results link, here's step-by-step description:
1. Open up the page where you can see your UserBenchmark run results.
2. Select the page url from address bar. It looks like so: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/xxxxxxxxx
3. Once the whole link is selected (with blue background and white letters), press Crtl + C or right click with your mouse and select "Copy".
4. While typing reply here, at new row press Crtl + V or right click with mouse and select "Paste".
5. Once the link has appeared in the type area, finish your reply and submit it.

One instance of svchost.exe is using up about 21% of your CPU processing power. When in Process Explorer, hover your mouse over that svchost.exe process to see a popup list of all the services run by that svchost.exe.
If you double-click on that svchost.exe and then select "Services" tab, you can stop any or all services run by that svchost.exe to reduce the load on CPU.
If your PC is infected with rootkit then regular AV program (e.g BullGuard) won't fix it. For getting rid of rootkit, you'll need TDSSKiller,
link: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/tdsskiller/
And Rkill as well,
link: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/rkill/
There's nice short review about both programs on their download page, so you can read what those programs are intended for.
Here's also further reading,

According to your latest UserBenchmark run, you've managed to get your GPU running but 60% of background CPU usage either shows you were running a 2nd program that uses a lot of CPU processing power (e.g. game) or you have a lot more bloatware running compared to your 1st and 2nd run of UserBenchmark. Also, your CPU is even more underperforming in 3rd run than it was in 1st and 2nd run.

Okay, so it's your AV program that uses 20% of your CPU. Here, make a test. Disable or uninstall your AV program and try to game some and look if you still get lags.
It's quite common that AV programs hog system resources and make the system to perform even slower than it should be. For better AV program, here's a good list of best free AV programs with reviews,
link: http://www.tomsguide.com/us/best-antivirus,review-2588-5.html
In my Skylake build, i have Malwarebytes as backup, just in case i need it. It's also listed there as "Honorable Mention". But in daily use, i don't have any AV programs running (which you already saw from my Process Explorer screenshot if you looked it closely).
